    Beautiful fish, I'm debating between a Kole and a Purple tang, do Koles lose as much colour over time as the Purple tangs do?

    Zeyphon,

    a well fed tang will remain very vibrant. although small, this little guy was with me from sometime in 2005 (first photo I can find is 3/05) to april 2010. this photo was from sometime in 2010. he stayed small in my 75 and was only about 3.5"

    Thats a nice looking kole. Bristletooth family of tangs are my favorite. They always seem to do a better job cleaning rocks. Here is our semi adult chevron.
